What it is

Amaranth is a pseudocereal, meaning it's a seed used like a grain. It is grown for its edible seeds, which are tiny and oval-shaped. Sprouting amaranth involves soaking the seeds until they begin to germinate, which can improve digestibility and nutrient availability.

Why it's used

Sprouted amaranth is used as a whole-food ingredient, adding a slightly nutty flavor and a boost of nutrients. It is often found in breakfast cereals, crackers, breads, and baked goods, providing texture and substance.

Health notes

Amaranth is recognized as safe by the FDA. It is a source of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated amaranth and its components. Evidence suggests that amaranth can be part of a healthy diet, contributing to overall nutrient intake.

Allergen info

Amaranth is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It is naturally gluten-free.
